BP aviation diesel truck at Tempelhof, 1937

From beneath the wing of an airliner, a small tank trailer with a hose stands on the grass of the airfield while a mechanic in overalls works by the engine; in close view the plate on the tank reads BP Flug-Dieselkraftstoff under the shield of the BP brand. Aviation diesel was a German speciality: Junkers had developed the Jumo 205 diesel aero-engine, and Lufthansa flew it on its long-range routes, where its low fuel consumption counted.
